How to use the word unscrambler
Type up to 15 letters into the box and press Unscramble. You'll get every real English word those letters can make, grouped from longest to shortest, so the highest-scoring plays are at the top. To see only longer words, raise Shortest word to show.
Playing a tile game with a blank? Type a question mark for it. For example, TRAIN? finds words like trains, strain and retain, where the blank stands in for the missing letter.
Tips for better word game scores
- Look for common endings such as -ing, -ed, -er and -s. They turn short words into long ones.
- Learn the two- and three-letter words. Short words let you play in tight spots and score in two directions at once.
- Hold on to flexible letters like S and blanks instead of spending them on small plays.
- Stuck with Q, Z or J? Use the Word Finder with "contains q" to see your options.
